Strong in Thy Strength
By Fairlie Thornton
I can of mine own self do nothing.—Jesus. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.—Paul. STRONG in thy strength, O Jesus, forth to thy work we go;
Trusting thy love so precious, ever thy praise to show.
We would not dread the future, we cannot change the past;
Strong in thy strength, O Jesus, we shall o’ercome at last. Strong in thy might, O Jesus, we everything can do;
Thou, who from sin dost cleanse us, canst keep us faithful too.
Surely we should not falter, nor should our courage fail!
Nerved with thy might, O Jesus, through grace we shall prevail. Fill’d with thy love, O Jesus, that wondrous love divine,
Where thou shalt lead we’ll follow; are we not wholly thine?
On to the work we’ll hasten, where’er the field may be;
Fill’d with thy love, O Jesus, gladly we’ll work for thee.
